I give your rant a 2 out of 10. Not angry enough. Too minor.

Hmmm, wonder exactly where that thumb has been?!?!? And will it be served with an adequate amount of Tabasco sauce?

With you on this one. Spend the time and clean your vehicle before you post it for sale. Not very difficult...Unless it's a POS of course.

Yeah, I hate the finger over the license plate trick. It always looks like the guy is either flipping you or the car "the bird".

What does it matter, why can't a guy sell his car anyway he wants and for whatever price suits him?

A guy can do what ever he wants with his vehicle just like a guy can post a thread titled "Minor Rant" and complain about a guy's dirty carpets. It's what makes these forums fun. Enjoy.

I agree with you. If you don't care enough to vacuum your car to do decent for-sale pics, what other kinds of details do you ignore? While it might make for an interesting way to shave some dollars off the ask, I would be afraid of the stuff I couldn't see. What kind of ghetto fixes are lurking?

OTOH, maybe it's good that the slobs self-identify? Helps me move on to the next candidate.

I'm actually surprised it needs to be said at all.
